Rode says the update will also make the user interface more “user friendly” which will make the device even easier to use, especially for newcomers to the world of podcasting.
The most interesting addition with this update will be multitrack recording which will be able to record up to 14 tracks including:
– a stereo ‘live mix’ track, as featured on the Rodecaster Pro since its release
– a mono track for each of the four microphone inputs.-
– a stereo track each for the USB, 3.5mm TRRS, Bluetooth and sound pad channels.
When the update is done, users can activate multitrack recording through the Advanced Settings in the hardware section of the Rodecaster Pro’s touchscreen interface.
A single switch on this menu can then engage Multichannel for multitrack recording.
The reception of the Rodecaster Pro has been exceptional,” says Freedman Group CEO, Damien Wilson.
